Dry the River at The Horseshoe

English band Dry the River stopped by Toronto's Horseshoe Tavern on their tour supporting their August release Alarms In The Heart. I found their music to invoke words like beautiful, dynamic, soaring and choral.

I was so thankful that Peter Liddle called out the chatty in the crowd by suggesting that if they want to have a conversation they could to go the other room. This is one of my personal pet peeves and when you see a band with as much dynamic range as Dry the River, the chatty in the crowd interfere more than usual. When you go to see a live band in a venue like The Horseshoe, I think you should pay them some respect by actually listening to them.
